These scumbags rooting for Clinton like they weren't praying for her to be arrested a few months ago.

TYT certainly aren't fans of Hillary Clinton, but even the biggest detractors there are still pretty fair at the end of the day. (other than Jimmy Dore) but none of them like Trump or want him as pres. (except Jimmy Dore when he entertains the "so bad it will shock america into a lib heaven" nonsense)

Hey guys, didn't watch the debate, but scanning through the last few pages doesn't give me the confidence that Clinton steamrolld Trump. Who won? Did Trump gain momentum again?

my understanding is that to vote early/absentee you have to meet very specific criteria, such as being out of the country on november 8th, being military, elderly, ect

does this greatly vary state by state?
I think you're confusing absentee voting (vote by mail) and early voting (voting early but still in person). Anyone (eligible voter) one can early vote, but people who are out of the country can vote by mail.

given that you think Trump gained momentum last debate, I'm positive the news you listen to will say Trump won this debate. And the first. And he's winning the election. Unless the system is rigged.

This was not Trump's worst performance, but Hillary was so good, she ethered him.

what was that whole deal about Trump saying Clinton paid people to incite violence at his rallies? what evidence does he have for that? he said he had evidence.

Oh yes, by state.

In Arizona, I selected to receive mail in ballots like 8 years ago and now every election they just get sent to me and I just send them in no work on my end at all :). Completely depends on the state though. Some are very strict for no reasons at all. Difference between absentee and early voting as well.

in kentucky, searching the only reference i can find for voting early is in regards to absentee voting
 
What a clusterfuck on immigration on trump

Bad Hombres was bad enough but he didnt even respond to the shot clinton took when she said trump has used illegal immigrants to build trump tower and threatened to get them deported when he undercut wages of american workers. Thats absolutely one of his key arguments (which also gets connected with His nafta critique)

I was shocked that he didn't try to say that was a lie or let out another insult.
 
disregard, found the info i needed

Kentucky does not permit online voter registration or no-excuse absentee voting.
Early voting is available only for those who qualify for an absentee ballot.


so no early voting for me

Will need to watch to really know. Trump did well in the second debate and Clinton floundered but you would have thought from here Clinton had utterly destroyed him (not to say she didn't do better, but it's all about who can win and who can lose).

The headlines are about Trump which he'll like but I doubt it makes a difference for him at this point. Feels like his campaign is now about how hard he loses.

Considering he seemed proud of not paying contractors in their first debate, this doesn't surprise me.

Hillary gave her strongest debate performance yet. She called out Trump on his long history of vile comments with specific examples, and contrasted her experience and his with substantial answers. She baited him into making a fool of himself and he lost his head every time, interrupting with "WRONG," and calling her a "nasty woman" at one point. Trump also made some major blunders, like saying "hombres" in a negative context, claiming he doubted the findings of 17 intelligence agencies regarding Russia's hacks, and most damaging of all, refusing to state that he would accept the results of the election.

He looked stupid, uninformed, and childish. She looked intelligent, informed, and presidential. Hillary wiped the floor with him and never got dragged down to his level. A serious improvement over her performance in the second debate.

Clinton did very well for herself and her campaign this debate, but Trump made several disqualifying remarks which will dominate headlines and discussions tonight and tomorrow, more so than Clinton's performance itself. Nonetheless, both factors are in Clinton's favor.

Which has been the story with all three debates now.

why don't you just watch it yourself?

you're either a bot or a very conflicted troll

Wow relax... I didn't watch because the debate was in the middle of the night here. What I meant with "again" is did he somehow bullshit himself out of the whole situation with the sexual assaults etc. Don't get too hung up on "again". Geez y'all volatile..

I think he was going to try and push that she was a flip floppier, or to discredit her current immigration stance.

I get that he wants to portray her as a flip-flopper, as stupid as that is given how many positions he has reversed himself on.

I don't understand how he can claim that "She wanted the Wall". Was there a wall proposal 10 years ago that she voted for or something?

Trump lost the second debate by any practical measure. Debate performance polls had a Clinton win and Clinton's lead in the polls held.

And Clinton was a lot better in this debate than that one.

Trump destroyed literally any possible momentum he could have gotten out of this by saying he won't concede on election day. That is dominating every single headline for the next week across the entire world. Any talk beyond that will be about Clinton outperforming him at the debate.

Trump needed a Hail Mary.

Instead he called Hillary a nasty woman, and the press is currently freaking out over him flaunting the peaceful transfer of power and the legitimacy of the election.

So no, the third debate rarely moves the needle, and this wasn't the performance to let him win.
Instead he created a new scandal and added fuel to the misogyny fire.
He's screwed.

Unless the polls are all wrong... Or Hillary Clinton is secretly a murderer or something.
She'd have to historically screw up to lose at this point, and she hasn't today.

Every legitimate poll had Clinton winning the 2nd debate, frequently by very large margins. This was the most lopsided series of debates in modern American presidential history.

To be fair, the guy hasn't really "gained momentum" in a long time. He's been losing to Clinton in polls by varying degrees for months. He got a bump after the Republican National Convention, but that very quickly evaporated.

Lol yeah that was a bit rough. People be tired of Trump.

He looked like a frustrated man child. He reiterated that all the allegations have been debunked and Hillary is making these people lie. What you would expect basically.

Pretty much. Trump has been practically flat until the debates and the video surfacing, since those it has been a large decline.

The Secure Fence Act of 2006. She voted for it, and it passed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Fence_Act_of_2006

It built 700 Miles of fence along the Mexican Boarder. (Total Boarder is about 2k miles though)

Look up something called #OperationVeritas

It's basically a Hillary supporter in a heavily edited video saying he did things without any reasonable evidence to assume that - if true - he was acting with her knowledge. It's very silly IMO.
